This is incredibly exciting news for any drift fan. Mad Mike Whiddett will be returning to Formula Drift in 2015 with his brand new 1,000 horsepower 4-rotor RADBUL Mazda MX-5. Mike brings a unique style to the sport which sets him apart from other drivers competing in Formula Drift.
Back in 2010 when he competed with his RX-8 the car wasn’t particularly competitive. With the new chassis and powerplant it should shake things up significantly.
Red Bull pro drifter Mad Mike Whiddett is making a return to the prestigious Formula DRIFT Professional Drifting Championship Series, with a commitment to multiple events of the seven-round US-based 2015 season and the newly formed FD World Championship.
Whiddett had his first taste of Formula DRIFT USA back in 2010 when he drove in select rounds of that year’s championship. In the time since, the New Zealander has enjoyed plenty of success with multiple event wins and podiums in Formula DRIFT Asia and local competitions – but the focus has always been on getting back up to the USA and taking on the world’s best drivers in their own backyard.
